Yesterday, we looked at which teams had the most pass attempts (including sacks) in individual games relative to league average. Today, we will analyze things on the season level. Let&#8217;s use Tobin Rote as an example. As Brad Oremland noted, Rote was stuck playing for terrible Packers teams in t2015-07-13 00:37:557/12: FootballPerspective.com- Which Quarterbacks Have Passed The Most: Individual Gameshttp://www.footballperspective.com/which-quarterbacks-have-passed-the-most-individual-games/
Let&#8217;s take a look at the league average dropbacks (pass attempts + sacks) per game for each year from 1950 to 2014. Obviously there has been a significant amount of variation, with the passing game being on life support in 1956 and peaking in recent times. As a result, we must adjust for era w2015-07-12 00:38:584/21: FootballPerspective.com- Guest Post: Bryan Frye&#8217;s Advanced Quarterback Ranking Systemhttp://www.footballperspective.com/guest-post-bryan-fryes-advanced-quarterback-ranking-system/

On Tuesday, I looked at quarterback records when their team allows 21 or more points.Â Today, a look at records when scoring 21+ points.Â I&#8217;m short on time, so today&#8217;s post will just be a quick data dump.Â I leave the comments up to you!

Back in November, Cian Fahey tweeted me a simple question: &#8220;What is Alex Smith&#8217;s record in games where his D gives up 21 or more points?&#8221; I made a note to run the numbers in the off-season, and guess what? It&#8217;s the off-season.

Munir Mohamed, a reader of Football Perspective, has agreed to write this guest post for us. And I thank him for it. Regular readers are familiar with Adam Steele&#8217;s three-part series here on Marginal YAC; today, I want to look at drops, and marginal drops.Â As Adam noted, Sportingcharts.com k2014-12-10 00:35:5310/6: FootballPerspective.com- 500 touchdown passeshttp://www.footballperspective.com/500-touchdown-passes/
Yesterday, Peyton Manning threw four touchdown passes against Arizona. In the process, he joined Brett Favre as the only players in NFL history to throw 500 career touchdown passes. In previewing that game, Mike Tanier noted that it would require us to travel back to 1987 to collect 500 Cardinals to2014-10-06 00:35:5310/3: FFLockerRoom- Fantasy Football Mailbag: Minnesota Morons, Liars, Garcon or Deckerhttp://fflockerroom.com/2014/10/03/fantasy-football-mailbag-minnesota-morons-liars-garcon-or-decker/

One of my first posts at Football Perspective was one of my favorites: the top receivers and the men who threw it to them. I like referencing that post from time to time, so I decided to update the numbers through the 2013 season. I looked at all regular season games since 19601, and calculated [&#82014-07-14 00:35:476/4: FootballPerspective.com- Yards per Target Relative to Teammateshttp://www.footballperspective.com/yards-per-target-relative-to-teammates/
Josh Gordon led the league with 1,646 receiving yards last year. That&#8217;s impressive: perhaps even more impressive is that he did it on &#8220;only&#8221; 159 targets, meaning he averaged 10.35 yards per target.1 But the most impressive part, of course, was that he did it for the Browns.

Determining the best backup quarterback ever is really complicated. Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers backed up Joe Montana and Brett Favre, respectively, but neither Young nor Rodgers morally feel like they belong in the discussion of best backup quarterbacks. There are a couple of ways to measure how 2014-05-16 00:36:172/9: FootballPerspective.com- Where Does Luck/Smith Rank Among Great Playoff QB Battles?http://www.footballperspective.com/where-does-lucksmith-rank-among-great-playoff-qb-battles/
The NFL playoffs began in very entertaining fashion in Indianapolis. The Chiefs lost Jamaal Charles on the first drive of the game to a concussion, but stormed out to a 38-10 lead. Then the Colts pulled off the second greatest comeback in NFL history, eventually winning 45-44. The much-maligned Alex2014-02-09 23:36:5810/7: FootballPerspective.com- Where Does Manning/Romo Rank Among Great QB Games?http://www.footballperspective.com/where-does-manningromo-rank-among-great-qb-games/
Peyton Manning and Tony Romo staged a classic yesterday afternoon in Dalllas. The Broncos won 51-48, and the two quarterbacks put up ridiculous stat lines. Manning went 33 of 42 for 414 yards, and threw four touchdowns and just one interception. He wasn&#8217;t sacked, giving him an impressive 10.692013-10-07 12:36:457/31: FootballPerspective.com- Julio Jones and Roddy White star in Stealing The Torchhttp://www.footballperspective.com/julio-jones-and-roddy-white-star-in-stealing-the-torch/
Randy Moss and Cris Carter. Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. From time to time, a franchise with a star wide receiver manages to draft another one. At that point, we just wait and see how long it takes the young pup to steal the spotlight. Everyone succumbs to age, and [2013-07-31 00:36:147/27: FootballPerspective.com- Receivers with 1,000 yards with multiple quarterbackshttp://www.footballperspective.com/receivers-with-1000-yards-with-multiple-quarterbacks/
While reading the always excellent Football Outsiders Almanac, I was reminded that Brandon Marshall has had 1,000-yard seasons playing with Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Chad Henne, and Matt Moore (and, of course, Cutler again in Chicago). That&#8217;s pretty impressive for a player in his twenties, altho2013-07-27 00:36:155/1: FootballPerspective.com- Where Does Tim Tebow Rank in the Pantheon of Great Quarterbackshttp://www.footballperspective.com/where-does-tim-tebow-rank-in-the-pantheon-of-great-quarterbacks/
With the Jets releasing Tim Tebow, it appears that his NFL career may be over. If that&#8217;s the case, it&#8217;s time to reflect on a great career that never ceased to captivate the nation. While there are many ways to grade a quarterback, probably the best and simplest measure would be &#8220;pr2013-05-01 00:35:554/2: XN Sports- Fantasy Football: Ben Roethlisberger is a QB1 Being Drafted as a QB2http://sportsjerks.net/2013/04/02/fantasy-football-ben-roethlisberger-qb1-drafted-qb2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fantasy-football-ben-roethlisberger-qb1-drafted-qb2
For whatever reason Ben Roethlisberger isnât being mentioned with the elite fantasy football signal callers this off-season.

Jacksonville&#8217;s Jimmy Smith was first eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2011. He was cut early in the process, failing to be one of the 26 semifinalists selected. A year later, he again failed to make the cut to 26, and was shut out at the same stage a few months ago, too.
